How to enable kernel mode setting with Intel onboard graphics

My laptop has a built-in Intel graphic board. I read that kms for Intel is
supposed to be included in kernel-2.6.29, but whenever I put rhgb on the
kernel boot line i grub (and remove vga= and remove nomodeset), then the
computer boots and I can tell that it's logging into kde, but the screen is
just black and I am unable to change to another vt. When I use vga= and
nomodeset, then Plymouth works and so does X.
Am I missing an option on the kernel boot line in grub? Do I have to
configure something? How do I enable the native modeline required to get
my laptop to use its native resolution? I tried xrandr, but it was unable to
use the native resolution. Yet, I have read that the kernel is now supposed
to do this...
Any ideas?
